SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The unfortunate
killing Of Michael H. Seibert in Kern county
last Friday, on the supposition that he was
Peter Olsen, the murderer of Mrs. Lyons, has
been the talk of the streets to-day. The mere
recalling of the facts makes a sad feeling creep
over the average humane heart. Compare
lively speaking, on yesterday the man in yon
lone cabin had not a friend. To day he is
enshrined in thousands of sympathetic hearts.
The world is now friend to the dead Swede.
1t will not be uninteresting again to recall the
facts.
About three weeks ago man giving his
name as Seibert appeared near Bakersfield,
looking for piece of land. He went to the
lower slopes Of the Sierras, where snow was
still on the ground, made his home in an
| abandoned cabin, and started to clear ground
for garden. Two rural amateur detectives
| jumped to the conclusion that he must be Pete
Olsen, the murderer of Mrs. Lyons, and got a
warrant for his arrest. They went to his cab
| in, armed with shotguns and pistols, and found
him girdling tree. They got as near as pos
sible, by dodging behind trees, but were final
ly seen by Scibert. They then advanced up
on him, covering him with their shotguns and
calling upon him TO throw up his hands, as
they had a warrant for his arrest "Arrest
nothing!' was his reply, and raising his ak,
he stood upon the defensive. The amateur
detectives then hred two charges of shot into
his breast. ''You are Pete Olsen" said one.
ST am DYING" was the hapless settlers reply
He expired in few minutes. Sheriff Harris,
of Nqpa, arrived at Bakersfield yesterday and
| stated at once that the remains were not those
Of Pete Olsen.
| He is found in peaceable occupation.
He is pounced upon by armed men who steal
upon him from behind trees and order him TO
throw up his hands in a most highwayman
style. In an attempt to defend himself he is
shot dead. What else can this be but muir
der? If it is not murder no mans life is safe.
These rural detectives should be placed on
trial and be convicted.
OF course, under the circumstances, with
the killing fresh in mind, popular feeling has
reached an extreme. Sympathy for the dead
Swedc and curses for his slayers rule the hour.
There are many who are bold enough TO say
that Seibert was undoubtedly shot for settling
on the land, and that the crime may have
some darker explanation than murderous
blunder. Ii must be acknowledged tha
with the present information such charges are
unwarranted and unjust. But the least tha
can be said is that it is sadly unfortunate
case, and the thoughts of it will not down.

"Be More Religious aud You Viii Be
Hdppy.o

BY this expression we do not mean to say
that you are TO try TO believe or practice the
improbable or impossible. In order to be hap
pY, We are to live, act and think according 10
the extent of our endowments and capacity in
harmony with the laws which solicit our obe-
dience, namely the laws OF our physical nature,
our moral nature and spiritual character. If
we indulge in excess Of any kind we suffer loss
and effects of reaction. All fanatacism, super
stition, bigotry, atheism or the creeds of all
sects neither proves or disproves religion, for
it exists in fact in vital fundamental principle,
nor does ii conflict with, or antagonize any
thing else, or any principle that is true. If all
existing cree1s and sccts were annihilated and
obsolete, the foundation of true religion could
not be destroyed namely the source of necessity
and desire. A man whose physical wants are not
supplied, suchas health, food, raiment &c, cannot
be happy. Besides he must have social af
flliations, yet if he has no higher aspirations,
no hope of future development, no hope of a
"sweet bye and bye" he is unhappy. A man
may ant cipate and ultimate bye and bye and
look forward TO the goal, yet he may in the
present deny himself and others of his useful
ness on account Of his avarice and penurious-
ness, he is of all men most miserable. In
short to be happy is TO live well and help others
to live well, to be cheerful, polite, to enjoy the
present, to subdue seltishness through charity
to all others, to be more reverential, truthful
and virtuous. L. c. HILL.
